DAO Standards - DAOStar One (Ep.10)
The first of two episodes dedicated to DAOStar One. At issue: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) lack a common technical standard which would make it easier for developers to create tooling for DAOs, and give DAOs the same level of legibility and interoperability that other web3 entities like NFTs currently enjoy. Featuring a discussion between Metagov Executive Director Joshua Tan and Isaac Patka, Co-creator of Logos DAO and contributor to Moloch Mystics. Moderated by SCRF’s Head of Operations, Eugene Leventhal.

This week, Media Studies Ph.D. student at CU Boulder Eric Barry Drasin discusses conceptual art and the decentralized art object framework that he created. At issue: one of the key maneuvers in conceptual art is dematerialization of the art object, which refers to emphasizing the thought process even when it renders the object itself (such as painting on a canvas) obsolete. Drasin’s Decentralized Art Object Framework (DAOF) is a legal and technological framework that uses the blockchain so that it can store coded sets of instructions that would become art objects and allow both transfer and “rematerialization.” As the DAOF framework mostly replicates traditional art contract law, Drasin’s artwork uses another conceptual art maneuver; he presents several works that reimagine and interrogate reality using the framework that he created. Hosted by James Brandon McGirk, an editor at the Smart Contract Research Forum.

This week we took a departure from our usual format to answer some questions from the Smart Contract Research Forum (SCRF) community. SCRF is the result of conversations between Chainlink founder Sergey Nazarov and Richard Brown and has evolved to become a community devoted to solving the last mile problem in research–how do you connect research to the people who need it, and engage with it? Moderated by Eugene Leventhal, featuring questions from Paul Zube, Larry Bates, and Lorretta Sackey.

The third episode of our “Culture and Incentivization'' mini-series featured a conversation between Ellie Rennie, a Professor and Future Fellow at RMIT University, and Coordinape’s Zach Anderson, moderated by SCRF’s Head of Operations, Eugene Leventhal.
The episode takes into question how the two interviewees’ experiences with incentivizing individuals through their respective communities have fared and what they believe the future will hold for DAOs when it comes to interfacing culture with tools built on human interaction.
How does one receive the most fair and efficient level of reward for their work? Are hierarchies necessary? Or applicable to DAOs? Both professionals will defend and deliberate on these topics within this episode.
